Before you start

The product must have stock in the location you scrap from. To fix a wrong total after a count, use Count stock instead.

Steps

  1. Open Inventory, go to Operations > Stock Moves and click Scrap. The Scrap / write-off form opens above the list.
  2. Type a few letters of the product in Product and pick it from the list.
  3. Choose the Location where the damaged goods are.
  4. Type the Quantity to scrap. Add a Note that says why, for example "Cable cut in the warehouse". You can also choose who the scrap is assigned to.
  5. Click Scrap. The goods leave your stock.
  6. The move shows in the Stock Moves list, going from your location to the Scrap location, with the type Scrap.

Note

Scrapping lowers both the quantity and the value of your stock.

What happens next

To see the new quantity, open Check stock on hand.
